The boat house features string lights, a half bathroom, refrigerator, microwave, and storage for lake gear. While we don’t allow our guests to use the Pontoon boat parked in our slip, there is room for you to dock your boat while you stay at the Lodge. There are also two SUPs, floating island raft, and Sun Fish sailboat also available for use.
There are a couple outdoor security cameras to monitor the property when we are not there. We also have a dog so if you are extremely allergic, this house is not a good fit.
Property was wonderful. Beautiful setting Top end cooking supplies Lots of games/toys Super kid (and adult) friendly Spacious Wonderfully appointed furniture Well stocked amenities (towels, blankets etc) Refrigerator and music at boat house. Will probably return.
Our group of 10 stayed here for a week in June 2023. To say that we loved it would be an understatement. This house is better than it appears in the photos. The host Meg is amazing and goes out of her way to give you a resort like feeling at a lake house - welcome gift bag and tons of extra touches everywhere. We loved both of the firepits, the outdoor seating with fantastic views and the yard games.The only drawback is that it is a steep walk to the water. It's not a long walk but it's steep and not elderly friendly. Other than that everything is absolutely perfect at this house. When we come back to Canandaigua, we won't even look at other houses. Thank you Meg for a fantastic vacation!
Thank you for remembering our 50th anniversary. Your lodge was impressive. All of our family had a great time. It was easy to get to the PGA Tournament and back again. You have the lodge set up beautifully, both of our son cook, and could not have been more pleased with the kitchen. The grand kids enjoyed the lake and made use of the kayak and paddle boards. We had a wonderful time at the lake.
Birch Lodge is truly lovely. A spacious house with a gorgeous view of the lake, a very well-stocked kitchen, nicely appointed rooms, and even a fun selection of toys for the little ones. The host was quick to communicate with a few simple questions, none of which involved any problem with the house. Would come back again if we’re ever lucky enough to be in this picturesque location.
We were a group of 8 adults, 4 kids ages 6 to 10, and one infant, celebrating our parents’ 70th birthdays this year. This was a wonderful family property- we spent the majority of the week at the waterfront, enjoying swimming in the very clear water, stand up paddle boards, kayaks, floats and fishing. We enjoyed some day trips: hiking at Watkins Glen state park, Ropes course at Bristol Mountain Aerial adventures, exploring the gardens at Sonnenburg Mansion, blueberry and sunflower picking at a nearby farm. The area is beautiful, rural and mostly agricultural. The house is well stocked. We cooked all dinners in and found all the tools we needed. The dining room and outdoor patio were both large enough to seat our party of 13. All of the bedrooms (even the basement bunk room) were comfortable and set away enough from the living areas to allow for early bedtimes or sleeping in late if desired. There are 2 washers, 2 dryers, and 2 fridges- so convenient with a large group! Don’t hesitate to rent this property!
Our week here was nothing short of amazing. This rental and experience with Meg is a poster child for what a VRBO experience should be. The house has everything…. Everything that a family would need. Items we’ve packed before for rentals weren’t needed here. The house itself is beautiful and every room has something to offer. Lake access is like walking into a pool. We will be back!
The property was very well equipped and beautifully decorated. The hosts were very quick to respond to our questions. We had 4 generations, accommodating provisions for all, even baby gates and a monitor! We had a wonderful week. Thank you!
Such a nice escape from the city and another great week relaxing again at birch lodge! Couldn’t have asked for a better time at the lake and will cherish the memories paddle boarding & kayaking with friends almost every morning. Love the addition of new fire pit so much that we ate every dinner outside around it! Already looking forward to next summer at birch lodge.
Absolutely loved my time at Birchlodge and just what the doctor ordered!!! Amazing little touches of welcomeness and class. Greeted with a gift bag and fresh flowers too!!! Memorable and wonderful time.
Birch Lodge is an absolutely lovely place. The amenities, from the plush, soft towels to the top notch appliances were superb. I find that I value reviews most when they mention the negatives of a property, so I will mention two negatives, noting that my overall rating of Birch Lodge is excellent. The walk down to the lake is steep and would be a challenge for the elderly, the very young and anyone infirm. There are some stone steps in the house which were difficult to manage for a family member who has knee problems, not to mention an active 20 month old boy. Having said that, this property has everything you could want in a vacation home; nothing is missing. The view is spectacular, the amenities abundant and the location great.
